Overview
Throughout history, many renowned researchers and health care professionals have contributed to the understanding, definition, and treatment of pulmonary embolism. Though the first documented case of pulmonary embolism occurred in 1837, historical record of thrombotic disease dates as far back as the 7th century BCE. |- | 1977 | Physician Eugene Robin published a landmark article stating the use of Pulmonary angiography as an approach to diagnosing pulmonary embolism.[1] |- | 1995 | Goodman et al. compared Helical CT angiography (CTA) with pulmonary angiography in patients with unresolved suspicion for pulmonary thromboembolism.[2] |- | 2005 | CT replaced scintigraphy as the noninvasive test of choice for suspected pulmonary thromboembolism[3]. |}
